The video you are about to watch is of me tying a deadhead minnow. I have taken this technology from Casey Smartt and changed the color patterns a bit to match our waters here in southern Indiana. You can either buy the brush pre-made or watch other videos on how to make a brush….but you will need a brush to tie this fly. I have used this pattern on small and large mouth bass locally and they have engulfed the fly like no other fly I have ever used. Give it a try or look up Casey Smartt and watch his video as well….you will be glad you have this fly in your arsenal. Here is hoping many bent rods to you this summer!
